These Walls

These walls are closing in around me
I feel alone trapped in my own despair
I look around and I can't escape
I am afraid of my life
Everyone around me acts like I am a burden
  
These walls are closing in around me
And I have no where to go
I sit and wonder why my life is the way it is
Does anywhere care anymore
If I faded in these walls would anyone notice

These walls are closing in around me
I cry out but no one is there
So I sit alone in my own despair
I am a lost soul in a world that don't care
I fade away in these walls hoping someone will care

Nice write I can feel your pain through the words.. When ever I feel in such a way, I do good deeds for others and never expect it in return, it gives me the best feeling.. That random deed helps me smile and over time the whole world smiles back.. God Bless :)
